My daughter, Aleya, was born after less than 4 hours of labor on the morning of her due date. She latched on perfectly and nursed when she was about 5 minutes old! Nursing her has been so easy, so effortless, and so enjoyable that I cannot even imagine why anyone would choose to bottle-feed. But I guess not everyone has it this good! Aleya was 6 lbs 14 oz at birth, now at 5 months, she weighs over 18 lbs and is the happiest baby I've ever seen. She has been sleeping through the night, since she was 2 weeks old (she has always slept next to me).
